In this article, we’ll discuss the rules and methods of trading the Tasuki Gap<\/a> pattern. You won’t find it very often, but it’s a quite strong pattern of trend continuation from the candlestick analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How the Tasuki Gap pattern is formed<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Tasuki Gap candlestick pattern is formed during an ascending or descending tendency and predicts its further development. The pattern consists of three candlesticks: the first two have the same body colour with a price gap<\/a> between them; the third candlestick has an opposite body colour and returns the price into the gap (between the first two candlesticks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first two candlesticks of the pattern show the trend direction and confirm its strength – the gap between them is evidence of that. The third candlestick, which is closed in the opposite direction, is a correction towards the previous movement. This candlestick shouldn’t eliminate the gap with its closing price – if it happens, trading the pattern is not recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Types of the Tasuki Gap pattern<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the location, the pattern can be of two types: Bullish Tasuki Gap (or Upside Tasuki Gap) and Bearish Tasuki Gap (or Downside Tasuki Gap).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Bullish Tasuki Gap<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Upside Tasuki Gap is formed during an ascending tendency: bulls<\/a> control the market and expect the growth to continue. The first white bullish candlestick with a big body appears on the chart. Later, with the market sentiment being positive, the next trading session is opened with a gap to the upside and closed with a strong white candlestick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the price is forming a descending correction, during which a black bearish candlestick appears and makes the price return to the gap. This gap is now a support level and if bears<\/a> couldn’t break it with closing prices, then bulls are very likely to attack and resume the uptrend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>Bearish Tasuki Gap<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Downside Tasuki Gap is formed during a descending tendency: bears dominate the market and believe that the decline will continue. The black bearish candlestick appears on the chart. Later, under the influence of active sales on the market, the next candlestick is opened with a gap to the downside and closed with a black body candlestick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the price is forming an ascending correction, during which a white bullish candlestick appears and makes the price return to the gap. This gap is now a resistance level. Here, bears start selling again and if bulls couldn’t close the session above the gap, then bears are very likely to resume the downtrend and update the local low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
